Just curious. If Cal thinks this might cause a bidding war between UK and Texas, I don't think Mitch will have the flexibility or leash to do more after this season. Yes it’s over after 2029.
March 26, 20215 yr Author Also CAL leaving KY after the worst season in school history is a bad look for him. I’m not sure if that ways in his decision or not. So much disconnect this season between CAL and the fan base it seems to be a major reason why CAL would jump. His seat is a little hotter then maybe he thinks it should be to by the fan base probably not Mitch.

Texas has the coffers to do it, but 1) doesn't mean they will; and 2) doesn't mean Calipari would go. At this point this all seems speculative. Well Texas knows what CAL makes. I doubt they’re going into meetings with him or his reps saying I wonder if he will take a huge pay cut. They wanted the meeting I’m sure it’s going to be close to his annual salary now.

March 27, 20215 yr Well if Texas truly is going hard after Cal. This will let us know if Cal truly would ever leave UK for another school or not. With the money and facilities, they are the only ones that could at least make it attractive enough to maybe leave. If he doesn’t leave for this job, then I think the ones who want him out. Need to accept he isn’t going anywhere until he decides to retire.
March 27, 20215 yr I don't see Cal leaving but at the same time, Barnhart better not sweeten his contract even further to keep him. At a certain point you just have to say enough is enough. If he leaves, oh well.
March 27, 20215 yr If he does bolt for the Longhorns, do we get to see Alan Cutler chase him down an empty hallway and out the door?

If he stays until at least the 24-25 season and then steps down, he basically gets $1,000,000 a year as a university ambassador and fundraiser...for life.
